Writing an article about bloatware and publishing it on Medium, therefore making people download 3.8MB of content to read 6.5KB of text is a little ironic.

Completely subjective comment/question:

Even if Neutralinojs starts out as super-lightweight, isn't it the case that bloat is almost inevitable? I mean, as you add more and more features, and get more participation, more people attracted to it for its lightweight nature, more code changes, and more abstractions to solve more problems... eventually you become the thing that you were trying to avoid.

Not necessarily. You can always say no to adding things.

Read some about bloatware. Hope this would help The key to getting rid of the bloatware is in the Settings panel. Under Applications (or App manager on some versions of Android), swipe over to the right to see all of the applications installed on your device. From here, you can select individual apps to force stop or disable.
